Jam Thumbprint Cookies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place parchment paper on a cookie sheet.

In mixing bowl add butter and sugar, cream together. Add egg yolk and vanilla mixing until combined. Add flour and salt and mix until dough forms.
Roll into 1 inch balls dip in egg white and place on baking sheet about 1 inch apart. With thumb put a small indent in the middle of cookie balls pushing down. Place 1 tsp jelly (I used red raspberry) and bake for 12-15 minutes. Let cool completely on rack.
